And so, we are closing up again. We discuss some of the other finer points of this specialty series:

• The ability to amuse oneself is one of the purest joys
• Audiences in new places
• Nearly a full house of specialties...
• ....However, it's harder to remain anonymous in smaller circles
• We re-affirm our commitment to bringing you solid content...
• ...But our lives and our jobs are getting more serious now..
• Our plans for next season

This is it folks! This is what we have been building to for the last 6 months! All the uppercuts, all the low blows, all of the urine extracted from orthopaedics 🦴 and all the shade thrown at neurosurgery 🧠 all culminate in this…

We are rejoined by listeners 🎧 , contributors 🗣️ and now pundits 🎙️ Michael Ahn (Health Education West Midlands) and Dan Lazenby (Health Education North West) as we comment on the whole of last season, and what a season it’s been!

We discuss:

• Capitalism at its worst 💸
• We won’t get cancelled will we?! 🚫
• Low key fans in high places 🧐 (proof down below)
• Acolytes of the knife joining in🤰👁️
• The best, best thing about surgery 🔪
• Core memories 💩
• Pinky / ye olde index haemostasis 🤙
• The best, worst thing about surgery 🥂
• Disappointing Asian parents 🫠
• Everyone gets a bit of love…except orthopaedics…because we don’t wanna admit that we need them… 😅
• The phantoms and apparitions that are cardiothoracics and neurosurgery🫀
• The winner 🏅 and loser of this season (with a little help from ChatGPT) 🤖

But remember folks…the real winners are the friends we made along the way! 🤝

This season, we’ve been sat on the sidelines, taking in the action and providing commentary on the action like a Jim Ross, Jerry ‘the King’ Lawler duo (and thus the origin of the title of this episode)…

Anyways, later than advertised (as we grapple with Black Wednesday, new hospitals, new firms, kids, m0ar inductions and the joys of mandatory training), we are rolling up our sleeves and getting stuck into the questions we set for the others and we talk about: the best and worst things about training, what we wish we knew before starting, who we admire, who we’d cheat with and who we could lay the smack down on…
